I did some research and he IS indeed positive and he has in fact refused treatment with antiretrovirals, he is also an admitted meth addict. I do not understand your posts deksman, what are you trying to achieve by posting this? It makes no sense, he is VERY OBVIOUSLY SICK!

No Mark, Palmer is not 'very obviously sick' - he may 'appear' sick to you (and others) due to being thin (and making relatively un-appealing stylistic choices in regards to his hair) and his history... however, testing HIV positive doesn't mean a person has AIDS or that they will necessarily develop it.
Nor does it mean a person who is HIV+ and NOT taking ARV's is automatically sick or will become sick.
Even doctors make a distinction that testing HIV+ does not automatically translate to sickness (only that it MIGHT DEVELOP into AIDS at some point) with or without ARV's.
People here seem to have jumped on the 'he is obviously sick' bandwagon without relevant data, basing their perceptions on past circumstantial evidence (at best).
Palmer's past IS to be taken into account that could serve as a POTENTIAL indicator, but do we have any relevant recent medical data (beyond him being thin, an admitted Meth addict and HIV+) that can tell us he is ACTUALLY sick now?
If the answer is 'no', then it seems to me that most people in this thread were making assumptions based on personal bias and limited information - which could also be described as 'gossiping'.
Thinness can easily be a byproduct of malnutrition (which can be due to change in diet and personal life decisions) and/or simply because of Palmer being a Meth addict (have you seen what the drug in question can do to the Human body? - thinness is just 1 possible outcome) just as much as it can be caused by wasting - neither of which has to be connected to HIV or AIDS as the scientific community understands them (seeing how Humans can have AIDS-like symptoms without actually being HIV+).
My point is, there are numerous possibilities to consider why Palmer looks like he does in that picture in the first post.
Is it possible he is sick and looking like he does because of it?
Yes, its possible (except for the hair of course), but we don't know that he actually is - and making assumptions with circumstantial evidence that claim otherwise will not change that.
